Using old insurance fire maps, researchers have enabled a machine-learning system to recreate 3D models of neighborhoods that no longer exist. Not only could the technique lead to VR tours of the ‘hoods, but it could help study the economic impact of u… Continue reading Technique turns maps of lost neighborhoods into possible VR landscapes
A new clinical trial has found that a common eye drop is a safe and effective way to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children. The finding may provide an easier way of treating the condition, which is expected to affect about 50% of the worl… Continue reading Common eye drops may provide hope for nearsighted kids
A study of nearly 23,000 interactions between different species of bumblebees and flowers has determined what these environmentally important fuzzy buzzers like to dine on. The information will help professional and amateur conservationists cater to th… Continue reading Scientists name the top plants for bumblebee-friendly gardens

A new study has found a link between excess weight and the risk of developing gastrointestinal cancer.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleTa… Continue reading Weight gain across life stages linked to risk of gastrointestinal cancers
Whether they’re patients with degenerative diseases or astronauts in weightless environments, there are some people who need to know if their muscles are wasting away. A new wearable could one day allow them to check, when and wherever they wish.Contin… Continue reading Electric cuff could warn at-risk wearers of muscle atrophy
The discovery was founded on the useful, but confusing idea of quasiparticles, which act as if they exist, but really don’t. There are only three types of particle in a solid: protons, neutrons and electrons. When packed together in a solid, these indi… Continue reading Researchers predict, then prove strange solid-state heat switches
Despite making up 85% of the total mass in the universe, dark matter has remained elusive to direct detection. A new study proposes a unique way to look for it using the Earth’s atmosphere as a giant detector for dark matter particles streaming through… Continue reading Dark matter “meteors” could be streaking through Earth’s atmosphere
Treatments for osteoarthritis-related knee pain range from store-bought medication all the way up to total knee joint replacement. The recently trialled Misha Knee System is intended to help fill the gap between those extremes, by acting as an implante… Continue reading “Shock absorber for the knee” implant shows promise in clinical trial

Most treatments for strokes aim to help reduce or repair damage to affected neurons. But a new study in mice has shown that a drug already in use to treat certain neurological disorders could help patients recover from strokes by getting undamaged neur… Continue reading Existing drug aids stroke recovery by rewiring undamaged neurons
